Abstract

A self folding box with a carrier for packing of pizza, as well as a tool for forming the box, comprises a box (A) with a lower part ( 1 ) of the box and a cover ( 2 ) of the box, wherein on a bottom ( 1.1 ) of the lower part ( 1 ) of the box is placed a carrier ( 4 ) for two slices of pizza quarter. Lateral sides ( 1.2, 2.2 ), auxiliary sides ( 1.8, 2.8 ) and an opposite side ( 1.5, 2.5 ) are made around bottom ( 1.1, 2.1 ) both of the lower part ( 1 ) and the cover ( 2 ) of the box (A). The lateral sides ( 1.1, 2.1 ) and the auxiliary sides ( 1.8, 2.8 ) are mutually connected and locked by means of tongues ( 1.3 ) entering slots ( 1.10 ). The opposite side ( 1.5, 2.5 ) is locked in a slot ( 1.7 ) in the bottom ( 1.1, 2.1 ) by means of a tongue ( 1.6 ). The carrier ( 4 ) comprises two pads ( 3 ) for one slice of pizza quarter, which are superposed one on another, so that the tongues ( 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 ) of the sides ( 3.2 ) of the upped pad ( 3 ) enclose from outside the sides ( 3.2 ) of the lower pad ( 3 ), while the trapezoidal tongues ( 3.5 ) of the lower pad ( 3 ) enter the openings ( 3.7 ) of the upper pad ( 3 ). An auxiliary tongue ( 3.9 ) of the lower auxiliary carrier ( 3.8 ) encloses from outside the upper auxiliary carrier ( 3.8 ). The pad ( 3 ) for two slices of pizza quarter is formed by manual folding the cardboard formed unfolded blank (F) along the folding lines ( 3.21, 3.81, 3.91 ). Forming the box (A), i.e. both the lower part ( 1 ) and the cover ( 2 ) thereof is carried out in the same tool ( 9 ) that comprises a tool holder ( 9.1 ), on which is attached a tool bottom ( 9.2 ) with the sides ( 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 ) for forming the box. There is also a variant of the invention defined by the box (A 1 ).
